Marshall kick returner Jayden Harrison was awarded Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday.
“It wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for (Jeremy) Springer dialing the return up and the other 10 guys who were blocking for me on the kick return,” said Harrison this afternoon.Harrison received the opening kickoff, taking it back for 99 yards and a touchdown in MU’s 28-13 win at Florida Atlantic on Saturday.
In doing so, Harrison etched his name in the history books as only the third player to return the opening kickoff for a touchdown, following Keith Baxter in 1987 and Keion Davis in 2017.
